How can I extend the life of my tile roof?

Because your roof is the most important component of your home, you should consider taking the steps to maintain it so it will last as long as possible.  Here are some measures that will not cost a lot and protect your investment:

• Keep your gutters clean – Most debris will find its way to your gutters. Keeping them unclogged won’t allow water to damage the trim and fascia or cause the decking below tiles to rot.
• You can visually inspect your roof for missing, cracked tiles or moss and algae growth. In most cases you don’t need to be on the roof, and this can be done from the ground.  Consider a roof inspection every 2 or 3 years.  It won’t break the bank and could identify a simple repair that unattended could cost a lot more down the road.
• Use a low-pressure power washer with a mild detergent to periodically clean the tiles. Don’t aim directly at the tiles or you could crack them.  Applying a sealant will also extend their life and appearance.
• Fix small issues as you identify them, like a loose or cracked tile.

Clay and Concrete Tile Roofs, Which One is Right for Your Home?

There are many varieties and styles associated with tile roofing. Tiles can be manufactured of either traditional clay or concrete. It’s most common to have tiles molded in to a barrel shape and as they interlock in installation and this makes for a very strong and protective roof. Each offer advantages and aesthetics and some tile styles are best used depending on the home style and the effect the homeowner is looking to achieve. There is a tile solution for nearly every style of home, from very traditional home styles to more modern architecture. In Florida, where certain areas have a strong Spanish tradition, tile is a preferred choice, but tile roofing is used in conjunction with all types of architecture from historic homes, contemporary and Mediterranean style homes.

What Are the Benefits of Tile Roofing?

• Longevity – Tile roofs made from fired clay are one of the world’s oldest and strongest roofing materials. It’s not unusual for a tile roofs life to exceed 50 or even 100 years when they are properly installed and cared for. There are examples around the world of tile roofs that are still functional that were put in place centuries ago. Whether traditional clay or the more modern versions made of concrete, both tiles are incredibly durable.
• Weather Resistant – While tile roofs add excellent value to any home, they are ideally suited for Florida’s hot and humid climate. Tile will not rot like other building materials and they are extremely resistant to pests that can-do damage to other roofing materials. Tile roofs are also resistant to hail. It’s this durability and longevity that allow many tile manufacturers to offer warranties of up to 50 years.
• Safety – Clay and concrete tiles are also the most fire-proof of all roofing materials. In high winds that we often experience with hurricanes in Florida, clay and concrete tile roofs have shown the ability when properly installed and maintained to withstand winds up to 150 mph.
• Eye Appeal – There’s nothing more attractive than a tile roof! Clay and concrete tiles are available in a wide array of colors, styles, and finishes allowing a homeowner to achieve a beautiful roofing solution regardless of the style of the home. The professionals at Brian Sikes Roofing can assist you in choosing the perfect tile style, color and finish to match your home.
